Advertising: CalendarsUS $66Anything remotely to do with cars and vehicles becomes less of a crossover item and more of a directly related area for collectables and antiquities. There are a lot more people that would be interested in the connection between vintage advertising and cars. This was a paper calendar issued by Laura Scudder's Potato Chips in 1964. It capitalised in a brilliant television advertising campaign that featured a cute little kid explaining why he loved Scudder's Chips so much.

Each month of the calendar featured a quote from the little boy. The association with the car was a competition, where you could win an electric Thunderbird car via a sweepstake.

Advertising: Magazine PagesUS $10A popular pastime of some eBayers is to take apart old magazines and sell the full page adverts that appear on various pages. There is literally a whole industry surrounding this type of collectable They are easily framed and ready to hang on the wall. Sellers keep filing cabinets with these advertisements split into categories for crossover purposes.
